The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows located in Acatzingo dates back to the 18th century. It is said that Our Lady of Sorrows was found by an innkeeper in the chest of a traveler, who never returned to look for it. Drops of water ran from the face of the Virgin, so she was taken to the parish church.
